Project 73 Cuda

[Mopar Marc]

Okay, I bought this car as a roller/project car so I can build it the way I want it. The car is an original AC car but so many parts are missing I've decided to convert it to a non AC car. I dropped the K frame out of the car and working on the firewall closing up a bunch of holes and modifying the firewall for the non-ac heater box. The plan is once I'm done with the firewall I'm going to paint the engine compartment B5 blue. While the K frame is out that too will get painted along with a complete front end rebuild.

Update on project 73 Cuda. The conversion to a non AC firewall is completed. Took me longer than I expected but it's done. After fill in the area with body filler I primed the area with Summit urethane 2K primer. Today I removed the steering column, power brake booster, wiring, etc getting ready to paint the engine compartment. I already had the K frame out so I pulled it apart for a suspension rebuild.

What color blue are you painting the car? 

Thank you. Either B5 blue or a similar blue. I'm thinking about yellow also. I need to make a decision quickly because I should have the front suspension rebuild and k frame painted by next week. So the firewall got to be painted before the k frame goes back up. The rear is out of the car. A Dana 60 is coming on Monday from Dr. Diff. As soon as the can roll I'm going to order a Blueprint 408 engine and a Tremec TKX. I'm moving along pretty good and hopefully I can be driving it by the summer.

Sounds like an awesome build!

Is the original color FE5 rally red?
Mind sharing the fender tag?

Making that paint choice is a big one to make on such a short notice time frame.
